I think I am going to buy a new bow next week, Been a couple yrs since I got out and sat in a tree... Kinda sucks though, the trees I usually hunt just got sold to some guy that "dont like people around" so I lost one of my good spots..

I know what you mean, I was there for two months at the beginning of the summer.  I have been bow hunting for about 10 years now and know a little about bows.  Have set up about every bow I have ever had and some others for friends. I agree with Ryan, Tom Norwick is the best Cabelas has.  If you don't get him, wait and come back when he can help you.  Don't settle for someone else.  I have used one of those laser tuners (EZE Eye) and they work good.  Can save some money by putting your arrow on the string in the rest and measure the distance from the arrow shaft to the riser.  Both on the front of the riser and the back.  They need to be equal.  If not, it could explain your arrows "kicking" in one direction or another.  You can also paper tune and will tell you the same thing.  If all is good and your arrows still aren't flying straight, it is one of two things....1) right hand 2) left hand.
